The Operational Tooling team builds and evolves the strategic user-facing platform that supports the creation, governance, monitoring and operational management of financial indices across the FTSE Russell ecosystem. The role is focused on workflow-led , data-heavy interfaces, auditability, approvals, exception handling, dashboarding, and integrations across services.
You will work on applications that help operational users configure financial index artefacts. The role sits at the intersection of UX, workflow, data and platform engineering, with a strong emphasis on building software that is reliable, explainable, scalable and fit for regulated financial operations.
React is the primary technology for new front-end development. Angular remains an important secondary capability because parts of the existing platform and supporting modules are Angular-based and need to be maintained, extended or progressively modernised. On the backend, the role requires strong Java and Spring Boot engineering, API integration, cloud-native delivery patterns, and secure handling of operational and audit-sensitive data.
This is also an AI-first engineering role. The successful candidate should be well versed in AI-assisted and agentic development processes and should approach delivery with an AI-first mindset: using AI responsibly to accelerate prototyping, implementation, testing, documentation, code review preparation and design exploration, while applying strong human judgement, security awareness, validation discipline and full accountability for production outcomes.
